HAIR NET Filed June a, 1923 I N VEN TOR. Lou/s GLEMB) ATTORNEYS towards the restricted opening, that the horizontal diagonal dimensions of the meshes of the intermediate rows 14 increase progressively from the lowermost to the uppermost rows of these meshes.

The result of these progressive difl'e'rences in these horizontal diagonals is to tendency of the lowest rows13 to return to their normal positions is augumented by the resilient effect of the intermediate rows. Because of the differences of the distortions produced in each row of the intermediate meshes the strains produced bydistorting the net are substantially distributed over a large number of rows, thereby not only assisting to prevent breakage of the strands but also increasing very greatly the resiliency of the nets. Furthermore the clamping efifect of the netwhen in use is distributed over a larger or wider band thus adding to the comfort of the wearer.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

1. A cap shape hair net having a main body portion comprised of strands interengaged to form a plurality of rows of relatively large sized meshes, a plurality of rows of relatively small meshes adjacent the lower edge of said net to form a restricted opening and a plurality. of rows of intermediate sized meshes interposed between and connecting the rows of said large and small meshes, said rows of intermediate sized meshes cooperating with the rows of a smaller meshes to resiliently resist deformation of said restricted opening.

2. A cap shaped hair net comprised of a plurality of strands iriterwoven to form series of rows of large, small and intermediate sized meshes, said rows of large sized meshes forming the upper major portion of the net, said small meshes forming the lower portion of the net and defining a restricted opening and said intermediate sized meshes being interposed betweensaid large and small meshes.

3. A cap shape hair net comprised of a plurality of strands arranged to form a lower open meshed portion terminating at its lower edge in an opening, and an upper or top open meshed portion of relatively greater dimensions than said lower portion,

and said strands being interengaged to form a plurality of meshes increasing in size from said opening to said top portion.

4. A cap shape hair net comprising a plurality of strands arranged to form a lower open meshed portion terminating at its lower edge in an opening, and an upper or top open meshed portion of relatively greater or top open meshed portion of relatively greater dimensions than said lower portion, and said strands being interengaged to form a plurality of substantially horizontally extending rows of meshes, the meshes forming each horizontal row being of equal dimensions, the meshes of the bottom rows of the net adjacent said opening being of smaller size than the meshes of the rows of said upper portion of the net, and a plurality of rows of intermediate sized meshes located between the rows of said bottom and'upper portions.

6. A cap-shaped hair net comprised of a plurality of strands arranged to form a lower open meshed portion terminating at its lower edge in an opening,iand an upper or top open meshed portion of relatively greater dimensions than said lower portion,-each of said strandsextending in substantially vertical directions from one side of said opening across said top portion toa'suhstantially diametrically opposite pointv of said opening and being interengaged to form a plurality of horizontally extend-ingrows of meshes, the meshes forming'each:horizontal row being ofequal size, themeshes of the bottom horizontal rows adjacent said opening being of small size, the meshes of the horizontal rows of the .upperor top portion being of relatively larger dimen sions and a plurality of rows of meshes intermediate in size between the smaller and larger sized meshes connecting and interposed betweenthe upper and lower rows.

7. A cap shaped hair net comprised of a plurality of strands arranged to form a lower open meshed portion terminating at its lower edge in an opening, and an upper or; top open meshed portion of relatively forming the top portion of said net, the

series of rows of intermediate meshes merging into and interposed between and conneeting the rows of smaller and larger meshes, and the meshes of the rows of each respective series being of equal dimensions.

8. A cap shape hair net eomprisedof a plurality of strands arranged to form a lower open meshed portion terminating at its lower edge in anopening, and an upper or top open meshed portion of relatively greater dimensions than said lower portion and said strands being interengaged to form a plurality of series of horizontally extending rows of large, small and intermediate sized sustantially rectangular meshes, and

the sides of the rectangular meshes of the horizontally extending rows of each of the respective series being substantially equal;

9. A cap shape hair net comprised ofa plurality of strands arranged to form' a lower open meshed portion terminating at rality of series its lower edge in an openin and an upper or top open meshed portion 0? relatively greater dimensions than 'said lower portion, said strands being interengaged to form a pluof horizontally extendin rows of large, small and intermediate size substantially rectangular meshes, the sides of the rectangular meshes of the horizontally extending rows of each of the respective seriesbeiug substantially equal, and the horizontal diagonal dimensions of the rectangular meshes of each horizontal row increasing gradually from the bottom towards the top of the net.

10. A hair net of interwoven strands, having a central portion of relatively large mesh, and a plurality of rows of mesh, gradually decreasing in size, surrounding the said central portion.

' In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.
